Child Support Orders
are based primarily upon the visitation schedule and the earnings of the parents. We often get calls from a parent who wants to modify a very high support order. In many cases reducing child support is possible and a motion to modify should be filed. Clients often say "I want 50/50 custody" after receiving a high support order. Scott Mitchell Law can help you possibly modify your child custody order in order to gain more time with your child(ren), and can aim to get a child support order reduced to a more reasonable amount. Child support in California is often too high for a parent because the timeshare isn't fair, or because the income information isn't accurate. It's important to get the true facts before the court when seeking to modify child support. It's also important to first ask the question "should I file to modify my support with the court at all, or is there a risk of an increase in support?"
Scott Mitchell Law helps with child support cases in Stanislaus and San Joaquin counties. It's important to get an attorney with experience and who is a Modesto and Stockton lawyer if this is where your case is.
